The World is Finally Enough?
- My Favorite Cities in the World (End of 2007 Version)
By the end of 2007, I have traveled to more than 100 countries(including self-administrative territories) and became a certified member of Travelers Century Club. Among the 106 countries visited, I identified more than 600 destinations (on tripadvisor.com map) I have visited. That is quite a huge number! Among those hundreds of places, my friends usually ask me, "What are your favorite places?"
It is a hard question to answer. And yes, I do have my favorites. Actually, I even always keep a list of my 20 favorite places. In the beginning of 2007, I listed my Top 50 favorite cities in the world. Since then, I traveled to many more destinations in Africa, Europe, and America; also re-visited many old ones. At the end of this very "Best Travel Year Ever", I have an updated Top 50 List.
Fifty is not a small number. So chances are, my friends, your hometown is among one of them. If not, don't get mad! Well, this list may really shock some people because some famous destinations rank very low, or not even in Top 50. Well, there are some reasons about that. Of course, one possible reason is that I haven't actually visited those places (such as Kabul, Bagdad, or Mogadishu, yeah, right)
Also, I decided to list islands or heritage sites or natural wonders separately. Unless they are next to a city or town I like, usually these sites are not listed as stand-alone on my list (So, sorry Angkor Wat and Iguazu Falls.)
So here it is, the complete list of my Top 50 cities in the world - After visiting 106 countries and 609 destinations.... Please click the link to view different parts of the countdown:
